Cassette loader having compound translational motion
A cassette loading mechanism for semiconductor processing equipment reduces the possibility of repetitive stress injury that may occur as a result of repeatedly loading and unloading a cassette of substrates by eliminating manual cassette rotation. The loader receives a cassette and, by compound tra...

| description | A cassette loading mechanism for semiconductor processing equipment reduces the possibility of repetitive stress injury that may occur as a result of repeatedly loading and unloading a cassette of substrates by eliminating manual cassette rotation. The loader receives a cassette and, by compound translational movement, rotates the cassette about 90 DEG from a horizontal loading position, in which the substrates contained therein are positioned in a vertical orientation, to a position in which the substrates contained therein are positioned in a horizontal orientation, such that the cassette is aligned to the other components of the substrate handling system for substrate transfer. The cassette motions are interlocked with the cassette clamping mechanism and the cassette loader door and a cassette shuttle by pneumatic or electronic logic. |
